LOS ANGELES — As films with Black leads and directors — “The Woman King,” “Till” and “Nope” — were shut out from the 2023 Oscar nominations, some are resurrecting the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite.
“Twice as hard, half as far. The #OscarsSoWhite playing out like always for Danielle and Viola,” tweeted music critic Britt Julious, referring to Danielle Deadwyler of “Till” and Viola Davis of “The Woman King.” “Shameful,” she added.
The Los Angeles Times’ essayist Jamil Smith referred to the snubs as “#OscarsSoWhite, redux,” also noting the shutout of Davis’ and Deadwyler‘s films.
